Mostly just okay

Most of the songs were "cartoons". My small Grandson likes puppets singing better so wasn't a big hit with him.

This isn't a great video, but it kept my grandchildren, ages 2 1/2 and 4 3/4 years, occupied while the adults finished dinner!

Diversity - Sesame Style

In a recent interview, Sonia Manzano (Maria) said she didn't realize until she was touring that many people in the US had never seen a Latino other than on Sesame Street.
As a half-Latin Midwesterner who grew up in the '70s, I can attest that this aspect of Sesame Street made a big difference in my life. This video is all about this wonderful side of Sesame Street.
Herry Monster anchors a "Monster Report" about kids, which cuts to a series of song clips like "Skin," "Fixing My Hair," and "Faces;" and then bring things back around to show Gladys the Cow and Buster the Horse singing "Different Yet the Same" and rounds it all off with "We All Sing With the Same Voice" Terrific handling of a touchy subject.
My toddler loves this video, and I do, too - and it has Elmo in it for the diehards. It's out of print - buy it if you can find it!

My all-time favorite children's video

Yes, one of the reasons I love this video is because I grew up with these songs. But my kids like it, too! They dance around the room to the dancing shoes song, and they enjoy all the other songs as well. I especially like that this video features Elmo when he was still cute and not so annoying.

Brings back great memories

This DVD/video will bring back sesame street memories from your childhood! Today's kids do not realize or care how 1970's it is. They love it! We would watch it in our daycare center a lot! It has a lot of great songs.

Ten Allied Songs of World War II — VATNIKSTAN

Victory Songs will remain forever in the history of music, they are sincere, strong in word and true. Whoever wrote them - a poet, a soldier, a journalist - words and melodies came from the heart, as well as love for the Motherland and family, the desire for peace on earth and heaven, sadness for the dead. These sincere feelings do not exist in the world of show business. "Cranes" bring tears even to teenagers, under "Bryanskaya Street" we start dancing and the whole country sing "Victory Day". This is definitely something without which it is impossible to imagine us, it is even more difficult to understand.

So much has been said about the work of Soviet poets, their songs are overgrown with traditions and legends, traditions and rituals. But how much do you know about what our allies, the partisans of Poland or, perhaps, China, did on the fronts? Alas, I dare to assume that a little. Therefore, by the Day of the Great Victory, we have collected ten main songs of the Anti-Hitler coalition and present them to your strict judgment.

Komandant Sava, Yugoslavia

The Kingdom of the South Slavs fell under the onslaught of the Wehrmacht in 1941, but the German soldiers had a hard time there. Hitler had to keep 35 divisions in the Balkans (for example, in France there were 28), and the reason for this was the partisans under the leadership of the brilliant comrade Tito. They tormented the enemy from Slovenia to Macedonia, and they had their own heroes.

One of them is Sava Kovacevic, Montenegrin, commander of the 3rd division. It was they who took the blow of the enemy in the key battle 1943 years on the Sutjeska River, where the partisans were surrounded. At the head of the army, Sava went on the attack, with an escort company, firing from a machine gun. The detachment managed to break through the enemy forces, but Sava was struck down by a bullet. His body was covered so that it would not reach the enemy. Together with the hero, his father Blagoe, brother Yanko and nephew Dragan died. The commander was found only three months later, he was identified by clothes and shoes with noticeable patches. The song was written after the war. The music was taken from the Soviet song about Shchors, but the poems were composed about the glorious "Command Sava" by ourselves.

¡Ay Carmela!, Spain.

If the Second World War began in 1939, then its bloody preface was the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. Here, both the Axis countries and the Anti-Hitler coalition tested their forces. Fascists and social anarchists clashed head-on for the first time. The Soviet Union helps the socialist republican army, but is defeated. Then the USSR will provide asylum to many Spaniards, and the son of the chairman of the Communist Party of Spain, Ruben Ibaruri, will die near Stalingrad at the age of 22.

Together with the Spanish soldiers of the Red Army, the main song of the fighters against fascism came to us - ¡Ay Carmela! This song, according to historians, comes from the folk tunes of the time of the war with Bonaparte, and the poems were composed by soldiers in honor of the Battle of the Ebro, the main battle of the Civil War in Spain, in which Franco won. In the song, one can feel the rhythm and energy inherent in Spanish music, and on the other hand, sadness and sadness, nervousness - after all, this fight will be the last for many.

Aleet Vostok, China

Historians believe that the beginning of the world war can be moved to 1932 - the Japanese invasion of China, the creation of Manchukuo under control. The Chinese Communists, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, are waging a stubborn struggle against the Chinese government of Chiang Kai-shek and Tokyo. Mao had to go through a difficult path in the party struggle within the Chinese Communist Party in order to destroy the opponents, on whom Moscow then staked.

In 1938, Mao becomes the first person in the Chinese Communist Party, a cult of personality begins to form, Stalin blesses him for a war with Japanese soldiers. From now on, everyone studies the works of Mao, discussions are prohibited, and the party apparatus falls under his control from young to old. At the same time, the composition “Aleet East” was born, declaring Mao the first person and calling for the fight against the Japanese.

You will laugh, but the song's music is a folk joke song about Shaanxi sesame oil:

"Sesame oil, cabbage stalk,
Eat with cow beans -
and pump up your muscles o-hoo!".

Under the “Aleet Vostok”, communist detachments crushed the capitalists of the Kuomintang, expelled the Japanese, but the mention of a cabbage stalk remained in the text. In 1943, other words were written to the same melody, already glorifying the leader. Like this - from the stump to the Pilot.

In the USSR, Chinese students loved to sing this song, and in Leningrad at 19In the 1960s, the following version of the text was known:

“The East sings
The store is nearby
Let’s go to the store
Let’s figure it out for three”

During the Cultural Revolution, the students sang the song “The East Aleets” without fail before the first lesson. There were loudspeakers in cities and villages, through which the composition was performed twice a day. The song is still played for hours at Beijing Station every hour.

Weeping willows roared, Poland

The Home Army - those Polish partisans who were against the communists and the Germans, borrowed their main march from their Russian brethren. After listening to the first notes, you will understand that this is "Farewell of the Slav". It just so happened that a simple school teacher Roman Slenzak wrote the poems “Rozszumiały się brzozy placzące” - “Weeping birch trees made a noise” for his favorite march.

During the years of the occupation, Slenzak taught and helped the fighters against the Germans underground. Around 19For 43 years, the Craiova soldier changed the lyrics of the song, after which it turned into "Rozszumiały się wierzby placzące" and gained wide popularity among the Polish partisans. It was taught and sung together on all fronts. That's it. Well, after all, under the tsar, we were with the Poles in the same country, where in 1912 we wrote "Slavyanka", why not take it for yourself?

This Is The Army, Mr. Jones, USA

Hollywood in the 1940s already a "dream factory", which could not but support the soldiers who flew from their native lands to distant Europe to fight the Germans or went to war against the Japanese. In honor of this, at 1943 year the film "This is the army", "This Is the Army" was filmed. Its plot is as follows: former dancer Jerry Jones, a veteran of the First World War, organizes a show of the Yip Yip Yaphank army amateur concert on Broadway. But due to the injury of his father, the show has to be held by his son. Of course, he is in love and will surely win the lady's heart. All this is accompanied by songs, dances and, of course, confidence in victory.

At the height of the war, the Americans made a film where they cheerfully and provocatively showed the power of the United States, the spirit of soldiers and officers. The title track was "This Is The Army, Mr. Jones. It tells about the fact that the army is strict and there are no separate rooms, and the housekeeper will not clean up the barracks, but the soldiers will become men.

The White Cliffs of Dover, UK

The White Cliffs of Dover are the key to England, an impregnable fortress that defends the country at all times. It is they who appear before us in the last frames of the film "Dunkirk" as a hope for protection. Great Britain is fighting the enemy in the water, on the land of El Alamein and in the air. The pilots took the brunt of the "battle for England", colliding with the aces of the Luftwaffe. They seemed to be the saviors of the nation. Prime Minister Churchill did not tire of shaking hands with them and presenting orders.

Is it any wonder that songs were written about them at that time. In November 1941, when it became clear that the Wehrmacht was stuck in the USSR for a long time, the song “There will be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover” was played for the first time, later known as “The White Cliffs of Dover” "performed by Vera Lynn.

Paradox, the azure birds from the song, they are also sialies, do not live in Europe, do not fly over Dover, but the text set to the melody of the British Walter Kent was too beautiful. This is the main song of the radio of England throughout the war. It has hope and love for the soldiers, and what else is needed?

Song of the Partisans, France

France fell to the Reich in three weeks, the Vichy puppet regime was created. Jokes about the cowardice of the French are still popular today. But those who remained loyal to their country fought underground or in London. De Gaulle on the waves of the British Air Force called for fighting on land and at sea, and the Russian Parisian - Anne Marley (Anna Betulinskaya) wanted to help her already native France (she left Russia when she was not even a year old). "Vice-Miss Foreign Russia" Marley sang and danced well, she composed a call to fight in her native Russian.

In 1943, a prominent member of the Resistance, de La Vigerie, heard the cry of a Parisian from Russia and was inspired. Immediately, Joseph Kessel and his nephew Maurice Druon wrote the text in French there in England. The "Song of the Partisans" conquered everyone on both sides of the English Channel, it was sung both at rallies and going on the attack. The song achieved such popularity that at the end of the war it was proposed to make it the national anthem of France. The delighted Charles de Gaulle would later tell her: "You have turned your talent into a weapon for France." Here it is, the Russian contribution to the French chanson!

Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer, USA

America's biggest hit during the war. The then fashionable foxtrot was written about a real event. The plot is based on the actions of British and American bombers, Operation Gomorrah in 1943, carpet bombing of Hamburg and other cities of the Reich. One of the aircraft allegedly did not return from the flight, but unexpectedly gets in touch with its own and reports: "The Nazis were bombed, but we are flying on the same wing. " And of course - happy ending - they flew.

Possibly referring to the battle of 26 February 1943, when a B-17 bomber piloted by Hugh G. Ashcraft, Jr. was badly damaged and flew to a base in England. When they took off, the pilot said on the radio "Those who want to, please pray", "Those who want to, please pray). Miraculously, Ashcraft landed. The news of the successful rescue of the pilot and the crew, who "prayed" to their plane, became known in his home state of North Carolina and elsewhere.

In 1943-1944 this song tops the US charts. Then Utyosov will record it with his orchestra in the USSR "We fly, hobbled in the darkness." In fact, there will be a translation of the song, with the exception of the lines:

"The tank is broken, the tail is on fire, but the car flies
On parole and on one wing."

Original text:

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
With our one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

Lily Marlene, Europe War is definitely war, and there are no boundaries for music even in World War II. The German song about the love of a soldier of the First World War was sung at the front not only in their homeland in Germany, but in England, France, Poland, and Sweden. It's true - if a song has a soul, there is no longer any idea whose it is, Nazi or ours.

Hans Leip, a simple hard worker from the port of Hamburg, loved to write poetry, for which he received from his father. At 19At the age of 15, full of romantic moods, he went to the front. Standing at Berlin East Station, he wrote a song about Lily Marlene. This is such a "Beautiful Lady" - she had a little bit of the grocer's daughter Lily and the nurse Marlene, whom he once loved. And so, he goes to the front, he may not return and sings to his Lily - we will meet again at our lantern, just wait for me.

Und sollte mir ein Leid gescheh'n
Wer wird bei der Laterne stehen
Mit dir Lili Marleen?

And if trouble happens to me,
Who will stand by the lantern
With you, Lily Marlene?

In 1937, Leip published poetry, which was liked by the composer Schulze, who used the melody for one advertising plate. And it seems like ... but no one liked the song, the records did not sell. The war began, and one of these records began to play on the radio, which worked for Rommel's army in Africa. Soon the Reich Ministry of Propaganda banned it as a decadent, they say, sad song in the midst of the war. But the soldiers, and Rommel himself, began to beg to return the melody that had so warmed their souls. At 19In 1942, “Lili Marlene” was the main song of the Wehrmacht, each regiment composed its own couplets and sang them at a halt.

The most amazing thing is that "Lily" was also sung in a cabaret in Paris, and the British, who fought there in Africa, came up with a version in English. The Americans, the Finns, the Swedes, and the Poles did the same. The reproaches of the commanders that it was impossible to sing enemy tunes did not work. The air of the Air Force and American stations was interrupted, ordering "Marlene" again. Many will begin to consider this an homage to Marlene Dietrich. The Air Force will even compose "An Answer to Lily Marlene Hans", where she sings to her beloved: "Hang Hitler on this lamp of ours, and then everything will work out."

Super hit in the era of war and vinyl. This song was translated into 50 languages, and Joseph Brodsky composed his own version of "Lily". Dwight Eisenhower said that "Hans Leip is the only German who brought joy to all mankind during the Second World War."

"Bella Chao", Italy

Another super hit - it was sung by Magomaev, Sukachev, Goran Bregovic, Yves Montand, Manu Chao. A song full of legends.

The first legend is a hymn to the Garibaldi and Risorgimento movement of the 19th century. Alas, there is no documentary evidence. The second legend is the Odessa song "A bag of coal", popular in New York among our 1920s. thanks to Mishka Tsyganov. There is no conclusive evidence for this either, as there are no records. The third legend says that this is the song of the rice plantation workers from the Po Valley. But this myth was dispelled by the press of Italy itself.

It is known for sure that the song of the Italian partisans was born in the Emilia-Romagna region in 1941-1943. It was written by the regimental doctor. Most likely, the melody of the partisan chant was inspired by the folk song E picchia picchia la porticella, popular there. The version of the folk origin seems to be the most correct. At 19Europe fell in love with the song in 1947 when veterans began to sing it at a festival in Prague. It was brought to the USSR by Muslim Magomayev, who studied singing in Italy.

Children's parties | Sports holidays

La Maison Studio has no equal in holding themed parties. We always have dozens of fresh ideas for events. Both children and their parents return home from us full of delight, emotions and impressions. And their cameras literally burst from a huge number of memorable photos.

SPRING FESTIVAL OR WIDE SHROVE

We celebrate the ancient Slavic holiday, which has come down through the centuries to the present day, with its inherent Russian scope. We bake pancakes with numerous fillings: cheese, meat, sour cream, jam, and wash down the meal with tea poured from a samovar. We arrange sleigh rides, dress up as nesting dolls and generously paint our cheeks with blush, play Russian folk games, sing chants and call the larks.

VICTORY DAY

We consider May 9 the most patriotic event of every year. Usually we perform a peace dance, make drawings on a military theme, sing songs with a guitar and be sure to read poetry. Teachers of "La Maison" tell pupils about the heroism of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. We lay flowers at the Snegiri exhibition complex and honor those who died in the war with a moment of silence.

AUTUMN VERNISSAGE

We are preparing to meet the beautiful Autumn in advance: we collect fallen leaves and dried flowers, we make complex compositions on fabric. We learn at least three poems by famous Russian authors and expressively read them for the entire kindergarten.
